How do you form an equation for a line extending from the origin to the middle of the line segment joined to the points 3 2 and 5 -1?

First find the midpoint of (3, 2) and (5, -1) which is (4, 1/2)
Then find the slope of (0, 0) and (4, 1/2) which is 1/8
Because there is no y intercept the equation is:-
y = 1/8x

What is the middle of a line segment called?
The middle of a line segment is called a Midpoint.;-)
Midpoint of a segment?
The middle point of a line segment.
Why can't a line segment have two midpoints?
because it can only have one middle and and a midpoint is the middle of a line segment and mid point means middle midpoint (middle point).
How is the midpoint of a segment different from the length of a segment?
Mostly because, assuming it just one segment, a midpoint by definition (mid- means middle) is the point at the exact middle of a line segment; whereas the length of the segment is the entire length of the segment. Pretty much, a midpoint is a point in the middle of the line, the length is the measurement of the same line.
What is a segment bisect?
Bisect a segment is to divide the line segment into 2

What is midpoint?
The point on a line segment that is equidistant from the ends of the segment. So pretty much a point in the middle of a segment
How does a lift bridge work?
There are 2 towers. The segment in the middle is on a rail on the towers. Ropes goes from the ends of the middle segment up to a pulleys on the towers and from there to motors at the ends of the bridge. When the motors run the pull the middle segment up.
How many midpoints a segment may have?
Normally just the the one which is in the middle of the line segment
The middle point of a line segment?
midpoint
Midpoint (-15) (-62)?
The point on a line segment that is equidistant from the ends of the segment. So pretty much a point in the middle of a segment
Middle point of line segment?
divide the line segment in half to aquire the center point
Why is the middle finger so bad?
Extending the middle finger is a phallic insult. And it looks like a Pen*s
